“…Both the Constant Score 19,20,21,22 and Oxford Score 24,31 have been validated for the assessment of shoulder conditions. Both of these scoring systems have shown significant benefits of physiotherapy intervention in this study.…”

In order to assess current conservative physiotherapy strategies we assessed all primary care referrals for frozen shoulder to our physiotherapy department over a 12-month period.17% of referrals met the criteria of a diagnosis of primary idiopathic frozen shoulder. 75 patients where randomly assigned one of three groups: group exercise class, individual multimodal physiotherapy and home exercises alone. All participants received education about frozen shoulder, advice on sleep, posture and pain relief. A single independent physiotherapist, who was blinded to the treatment groups, made all assessments. The Constant Score, Oxford Shoulder Score and SF-36 outcome measures were performed at baseline, six weeks, six months and one year. The Exercise Class lead to a significant improvement in shoulder symptoms and that this was greater than individual multimodal physiotherapy or home exercises alone with both Oxford and Constant scores. These findings were not demonstrated with the SF-36. This study demonstrates that a hospital based exercise class produces rapid recovery from a frozen shoulder with a minimum number of visits to the hospital and was more effective than individual physiotherapy or a home exercise programme. We would not recommend SF-36 as a valid patient reported outcome measure for the use in shoulder pathology.

“…The primary outcome measure was the Constant-Murley Score 19 , which reflects shoulder function with accuracy, reliability, and reproducibility 20,21,22 . The score combines subjective and objective measures to produce a 100 point score, comprising four parameters: activities of daily living, range of motion, pain and strength.…”

“…In previous studies [1][2][3][4] , in which normative databases of shoulder strength were constructed, isometric shoulder strength was measured in individuals who were asymptomatic on the basis of a medical record review and/or interview. No imaging modalities were used to exclude asymptomatic rotator cuff tears in these studies.…”

“…The scoring system is based on subjective (sleep, work, recreational activities) and objective (range of motion and strength) components, adjusted for age and gender, according to normative data reported by Yian et al 37 The summary score ranges from 0 (worst result) to 100 (best result). Another secondary outcome was a visual analog scale (VAS) for pain assessment.…”

Shoulder pain is a common reason for consultation in general practice, with a 1-year prevalence ranging from 5% to 47% in the general population. 27Rotator cuff tendinopathy is the most common nontraumatic shoulder painful condition and affects about 20% of the population, with increasing prevalence over the course of aging. 28,33 The condition is characterized by a combination of pain and rotator muscle weakness, resulting in substantial limitations in overhead motor tasks and impairments in everyday activities. 26 The etiopathogenesis of rotator cuff tendinopathy is likely multifactorial and results from the participation of intrinsic (eg, changes in tendon collagen, proteoglycans, vascularity, and cellular- T T METHODS:Ninety-two patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy and pain lasting for at least 3 months were recruited from the outpatient clinic of
